I know Pennsylvanians have real concerns about data centers, and their impacts on our environment and on our utility bills. So do I. Today, I’m announcing a new set of strict standards to hold data center developers accountable.

We have a real problem with these so called "experimental data centers" They will drive up your electric bills, jeopardize our water supply, and are so loud you will hear them 24/7. I want to be clear. I am not going to regulate data centers, I am not going to reform data centers; as Florida Governor, I will reject and remove every data center in our state.

My conversation with Governor @rondesantis on data centers. I stand with the Governor and our state law: -Local control. If a community doesn’t want a data center — no data center. -Your bills do not go up. -Our water is protected.

State Rep. Gina Hinojosa, Democratic candidate for Texas governor, says Gov. Greg Abbott's temporary pause on approvals for new data centers "is an attempt to protect his reelection chances, not the people of Texas." "Texans have real concerns. These hyper-scale data centers have hyper-scale impacts on our communities when it comes to our grid, our water and just our way of life," she says. "And Texans want protections, and rightfully so."

James Talarico: “We have to stop data centers from jacking up our utility bills. We have to stop data centers from using up all our water. We gotta stop data centers from getting sweetheart tax deals. And we gotta stop data centers from being built if they can’t meet the demands of our communities”

Radel: What do you think about the president’s comments on data centers, saying anyone who doesn’t want data centers is backwards and poor? Ellzey: I didn’t see that. Radel: Do you think that’s right? Ellzey: I’m not going to comment on something I didn’t see. Radel: Do you support data centers? Ellzey: We have some data centers in our community that have been really good neighbors.

Today I asked if any Congressmember on Energy & Commerce Democrats would want to live next to a data center. The silence in the hearing room reflected the realities of working people across the country. We must address the real, dangerous health impacts of data centers on our communities.

When it comes to data centers, Michigan should show the country how to do it right. That means: Data center companies, not Michigan families, pay for their own energy and grid upgrades – so rates don't go up. Data centers can't harm our water, air, or environment. Data centers pay their fair share in taxes to fund our schools, roads, and communities. Data centers are built with local union labor.

WOW 🚨 Democrats in Wisconsin EXEMPTED Data Centers from taxes on sales, electricity and electrical equipment It was signed into law by Democrat Governor Tony Evers Data Centers don’t have to pay taxes on - Electricity itself (purchased for operation of the data center) - Server equipment, networking gear, cooling systems, cabling, and more - Conduit - Substations - Uninterruptible energy equipment (e.g., UPS) - Switches and switchboards - Batteries and backup generation equipment “Pretend that our energy bills are not being raised by data centers. We are paying their taxes though. So our bills are still being raised because of data centers.”

Today, I'm introducing the first-ever Data Center Bill of Rights. Communities deserve the right to reject data centers, protect their water, keep electricity bills down, and prevent states from shoving data centers down their throats.

WHAT’S THAT NOISE? Residents raise concerns about humming sound near data center in Vineland, New Jersey, disrupting their daily lives. These data centers are being built all over the country and our politicians are giving them tax write offs to do it. It's a problem.

Our residents tell me loud & clear: AI data centers are not welcome. They pollute our environment & raise our bills–all to make the rich richer. I introduced the No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act to stop this AI-addicted President from sacrificing our lands to Big Tech.

🚨NEW AD: David Crowley wants Wisconsin to become a data center hub for the “entire globe.” That’s not my vision. No new data centers without strong standards that protect our farmland and water, shield Wisconsin ratepayers, ban secret NDAs, and end data center tax breaks.

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance helps to clarify President Trump's stance on data centers, highlighting his desire for data centers to put power BACK into the grid "I think probably 99% of the backlash to data centers has come in areas where building a data center means higher utility and higher electricity for the people on the ground." "If you build a data center, you should be putting power back into the grid, not taking it out, and if that is happening, I don't think the data centers are that controversial."

.James Talarico: We can start by cracking down on these data centers across the state, that are jacking up our utility bills, and using up all our water. We just found out that Ken Paxton, the most corrupt politician in Texas, has taken nearly half a million dollars from data center companies. That explains why as Attorney General, Ken Paxton ignored our neighbors in Hood County after they asked him to help temporarily block the construction of a data center in their community. Texans cannot afford a senator who's bought by big data centers. In the Senate, I will fight to stop data centers from being built in our communities if they cannot meet the most basic demands of those communities.

One thing I urge all data center developers to do is be a net-negative user of power. The effect of the data center going online should be that people's power bills go down.

So I have a question. If this is indeed data center equipment, as it appears to me, are they paying for the police escorts? How much do we know about these data centers, and who thinks they are a good thing?

A local utility company in Illinois has plans to help lower residents electrical bills They will be requiring new data centers and planned data centers to sign 10 year contracts saying they will be responsible for paying for upgrade costs and electricity usage costs “That means any new data centers would be on the hook for power upgrades and any energy they plan to use, even if the data center ends up not getting built or if they don't use as much power as planned or if they close. So if they use the power that they're applying for, then they'll pay their fair share of the cost of maintaining and building our grid through their rates”

I love President Trump but I’m not with him on the data centers. The opposition to data centers seems real and organic. The need to shove data centers down the throats of communities who don’t want them seems to be manufactured.

Found the only infrastructure in all of America being updated, power lines for data centers Construction crews are out putting in new transmission lines, transformers, and miles of new poles for the new AI Data Center project in Vineland, New Jersey These grid upgrade costs have been socialized across all customers, meaning raising everyone’s bills Residents on average are seeing roughly 20% increase on their energy bills Jersey did pass bills in 2026 trying to make large data centers cover their own upgrade costs but Vineland has its own municipal utility. Meaning residents are paying the upgrade costs
